FlyingColours's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Herbert Perrywinkle]

Nice game

This is a really nice game! I like the way it is not too difficult.

I found a bug: Sometimes, if the ball gets out of the boundaries of the game, it is impossible to return to the place where you started. For example, in the very large level, if you fall through the middle of the left boundary, you cannot bring it back and must refresh.

The hidden tunnel was a nice touch, but I think it would be best if you made the ball smaller and jump higher; it was odd that the stalagmites could only hurt the ball if it penetrated through the ball's centre.

This is overall a very good game and I hope you make more of these in the future!

oObangzOo responds:

I appreciate your comment, to be honest, I have not found out how to set the hit detection so that the ball would die on contact instead of in the centre, but this next project I'm working on will leave you vomiting profusely from greatness.

That bug will be addressed and fixed in the near future fear the not!

[UFO Tree Cutters: DOTC]

Excellent game, but with a major problem.

Firstly, I really enjoyed this game and it reminds me of Boombot. Secondly, I don't agree with most of the criticism below. (No offence to the other reviewers.) The graphics don't have to be da Vinci, nor does the plot have to be Dickens - this is a game, not a movie or book. The difficulty is, on the whole, good - one thing I dislike about Boombot (and the later levels of Civiballs) is how you need to figure out how to do it, then practise lots of times to get it right.

However, there is a fatal mistake in the game: how stars are determined. I think this should be more flexible. The percentages required should vary for every level like in Bloons, as the present percentage makes some levels a little too hard and other a little too easy. Without this flaw, and if the level with a large piece of ice is a little easier, and the UFO doesn't slide so much, the game would be perfect! :)

Gimmick responds:

Thanks! I'll take that into consideration for the next release.

[Avoider!]

Very good game!

It is not a difficult to game to make, I think, but it takes a lot of effort to make it.

SethFx23 responds:

Oh definitely, it took a little while to make, but it was a great experience.

[Platformer Tutorial AS2]

Very helpful for Flash beginners!

Although most of the things in this tutorial I either already know or have no use of, the save part was very helpful for any type of games. If I plan to make a 'platformer' game in the future, the first thing I'll do is check out this tutorial again!
